    Hey All,

    I thought i would post an update on what i've done to my truck in the last few months. I was inspired with a lot of the new white mercedes-benz's with the black roof's that look extremely aggressive so I purchased a couple gallons of plasti-dip and painted the roof matte black.

    Cleaned up the paint prior to Plasti-dip

    Taped and covered everything.

    It took way more paint that i was expecting to get minimal coverage.

    It's a terrible picture but it turned out really nice! 5 coats later......

    I also went cheap and added the ProComp leveling kit since the stock stance was hideous.

    I also purchased some bolt style LED lights and flush mounted 8 of them in bed of the truck. I'll post some pics in a separate post

    I purchased the lights from oznium.com and so far am very pleased a night loading up the truck for Moto trips.

    It took me a little over 3 hours to complete the install and when it was all said and done the switch that i purchased wouldn't fit in the factory switch slots even when the website claimed it would.

    I removed all storage compartments and began my layout

    This model of LED has a lens that projects the light in a more even tone. So far its a really nice light for its purpose. http://www.oznium.com/led-bolt

    I realized i didnt take a picture at night. I'll take a picture this weekend and will post it then.

    If anyone knows where i can find a factory light button that i can use to control these lights please let me know.

    Thanks
